For new and experienced practitioners alike, this all-day community meditation retreat is a rare opportunity to take a real break from our usual routines to truly relax with ourselves and refresh our sense of well-being, goodness, and sanity.

Guided meditation instruction will be given at the very beginning of the day. Silence (functional talking when necessary) will be observed throughout the day except during discussion periods.

To create and maintain a container that provides maximum benefit to all, retreat participants are expected to commit to stay the whole day. A simple lunch will be provided.

The all-day schedule is as follows:

8:30 Check-in and coffee/tea

9:00 Welcome, introduction, orientation, group instruction

9:30 Sitting and walking meditation practice

12:00 Lunch (in the meditation hall)

12:30 Silent break/rest period

1:00 Sitting and walking meditation practice

3:00 Tea and Discussion

4:00 Ending
